<VV> Cheap tool sets - such a deal!

[Alan and Clare Wesson]

I love Sears, and at $2 to the GBP the deals are even better from this side 
of the pond! When I came over for Hershey I got a 200-piece (or something 
like that) Craftsman wrench and socket set for $89.99, which, at the current 
exchange rate, feels like you you would feel getting it for $45!

I felt very happy...

Cheers

Alan
